Must I reboot after altering / partition in CentOS7
I'm trying to script the resize of VMs. Is there a way to continue without a reboot of the VM after altering the partition table?
It seems that partprobe doesn't work on CentOS7 as with previous versions, so partprobe then pvresize etc. will not work.
It's a real bugbear of mine the way things are changed to "protect" us form ourselves.

I tried it but it didn't work. At least with / partition.
It doesn't work with partitions that already exist and are altered, that's true ... It worked with new partitions in previous versions, can't say for CentOS7 though...

I think behavior changed around CentOs6.

I didn't but I expect it would work. It is a safety precaution to protect existing partitions. It's very inconvenient.
I'm hopeful though that there is a workaround out there.

I've been looking for a solution as well, but since they changed it there hasn't been much out there ... If you find a way I'd love to know :)
Anyway, thanks!

You create the partition via fdisk for example and add the new partition using partx, for example:
Open in new window
This would add the partition to the system...
